When you attend a Jim Rea 2-day Natural Horsemanship Clinic you'll learn Frank Bell's acclaimed 7-Step Safety System. This straightforward set of exercises immediately places a solid foundation under every horse and rider. Heightened safety equals heightened confidence for you and your horse. You’ll learn how to use respect, communication and trust rather than use fear and intimidation and mechanical devices to advance your goals, and accomplish it all safely! Whatever equine discipline you choose will be greatly enhanced when you understand the theory, techniques, and timing of this remarkable system. |
